00:00Hello, everyone. I'm Chef Babette Davis, and I'm so excited to be here with you at the
00:08Wellness House. And I am going to share my wonderful peanut butter caramel dessert with
00:15you today. So first of all, I want you to understand that we're going to be using today
00:22cashew nuts and everybody's favorite peanut butter. Everybody loves peanut butter. And
00:31you can actually use for the way that we're going to build this dessert, you can actually use
00:38granola, but I made some oatmeal raisin cookies. So I'm going to use the oatmeal raisin cookies as my
00:45basically sort of like my cake. Okay. So first of all, we're going to start off with a non-dairy
00:52milk. I have chosen almond milk. Now, I'm just going to go ahead and pour all this. I went ahead
01:01and did four cups of milk. This would give you a whole bunch. You'd be able to feed the neighborhood
01:07with what I'm about to share with you today. And I've got four cups of soaked cashews. Now,
01:15it's very important that you soak your nuts because nuts have enzyme inhibitors and they're
01:25hard to digest if you don't soak the nut. So we've soaked this cashew for a while. It looks like I got
01:31a hair too much milk in here. So I'm going to pour a little bit of this milk out because I really want
01:37you, I want you to know how to make this properly. And I am making such a mess. Lord. All right. So
01:44I've got a little coconut oil, which is about a quarter of a cup of melted coconut oil. And this
01:52is our peanut butter. So we're going to put a little peanut butter on this. Actually, this is a half cup
01:59of peanut butter. Yeah. Half cup of peanut butter. And I use agave nectar. Now I use agave nectar because
02:13it's low on the glycemic index. It was the syrup that we decided to use in our restaurant stuff. I
02:20eat in Englewood. Shameless plug. But yeah, so we're going to use agave nectar in this. And with this
02:28particular recipe, you're probably going to need about a cup and a cup and a half of agave syrup. So
02:34I'm going to put all that in there. And I've got cinnamon, about a teaspoon of cinnamon and a teaspoon
02:45of sea salt. Now what we would actually do is blend all of this up. And this would be
02:57our sauce. This is our sauce. This is our sauce after we blend all of this up. I'm not going to
03:02make that noise right now. Oh, the main ingredient. I have a little bit of cooked yams. I have about a
03:11cup of cooked yams. They can be cooked. You dump that in there too.
03:15There we go. Cook yams. And when we blend it up, we're going to be able to come out with this
03:34little creamy sauce here. And this is how we're going to build our parfait. So basically, I've got
03:42these oatmeal raisin cookies that I have made, but you can buy yourself a bag of granola, your favorite
03:48granola. I would start off like I'm going to do here, crumble my cookie. Now, if you have bananas,
03:59any kind of fruit, any fruit you might want to throw in here, but remember it's peanut butter.
04:04I would use bananas. Bananas are absolutely perfect. So we're going to pour just a little bit
04:11of our sauce on top of this. And if you've got some fruit, you can cut it up and that would be your
04:21next layer. Now, I have taken agave nectar, yams, peanut butter, and a little sea salt. And I made a
04:36caramel. Agave nectar, yams, peanut butter, and sea salt. You blend it up. You've got a caramel. Check
04:45this out. See that? A beautiful caramel layer. There you go. So we're going to put some more cookies in
04:57this. My recipe is so simple. It really is this simple. And of course, if you had bananas, you cut
05:09some more bananas up on that. And then you take and put a little bit more of our blended parfait mix.
05:17Wow. And then you're going to top this off with the caramel.
05:30Look at that.
05:32And I'm going to crumble the cookies on top. Yeah. There you go. Now, the exciting thing about this
05:44dessert is that if you have little molds, you know, the little molds that you build, your little
05:49desserts in, you take a mold and you layer it very similar to the way that I've, I've layered this
05:57parfait, this parfait cup. Then after you get it completely layered, you put it in the freezer.
06:05And trust me, this mix right here tastes just like ice cream after it's frozen.
06:12That's what you got. A frozen ice cream like dessert. So you can either, either have a parfait
06:19or you can freeze it and you've got ice cream. I'm brilliant. I know,
06:26but I call this a protein packed dessert. You've got peanut butters. You've got cashews. You're not
06:35eating any dairy. There's nothing in here. There's no refined sugar, no dyes, no preservatives.
06:41You just got a nice, clean, yummy dessert. Now remember, you really do want to put you some fruit
06:49in here. Bananas would probably be my suggestion that you go ahead and put bananas in there.
06:55And just remember that when you're, when you're, um, like, like I live a vegan lifestyle. So I,
07:03I make sure that everything that I do is going to give me some nutrients. That's important to me.
07:10And especially because of my age, I'll be 70 years old in December and I still got to keep it moving.
07:17I'm not old. Even though Google says I'm an early elderly. No, I know. So nutrition is key as far as
07:29I'm concerned. So when I'm making desserts or anything like that at the restaurant or anything
07:34that I make, we're constantly thinking about nutrients. We don't do, um, we're not big on deep
07:42frying, um, that sort of thing. We're not into that kind of stuff. So we try to just keep things,
07:48um, like I said, get the nutrients out of it, minimal cooking, because you know, whenever you're
07:55cooking food, whenever you're putting heat on food, you kill the live enzymes in it. So live food is best,
08:02best because we need the enzymes is how we feed ourselves. Um, and if all you eat is cooked food,
08:09I want to rethink that and think about, like I said, this is a live dessert. The only thing that's
08:16cooked in it, Oh, two things cooked in it, the cookies and the, um, and the yams. But what if you
08:24decided to use something else? You could always layer this with a nut mixture, another nut. You could
08:30take, you could take walnuts and raisins and, and put, put them in the food processor using the,
08:37the, uh, pulsing, uh, effect on that food processor with the S blade and, and just chop that up in
08:44there and make that your crust. So it's just ways of getting around, um, you know, just constantly,
08:51constantly killing your food before you eat it. So I felt like this was a simple dessert. It's,
08:57you know, caramel is good and you know, peanut butter mixed up is good. And I just figured you
09:02guys would actually love this. Um, I hope you do. Should I eat some, make you just make your mouth
09:09water a little bit. Let me see how this is. Just take a little bit. Oh my gosh. Yeah. It's the bananas.
09:22That's all you need in this is bananas. So once again, we're thinking about nutrition.
09:32That's your main goal. So as much as you can not cook, don't cook. I've got a book. It's called
09:42cash in on cashews. You can buy it on Amazon, all the recipes to all of my raw cashew desserts. It's
09:5050 plus desserts made with the cashew nut. And most of them have nothing cooked in them.
09:59All right. So check that out on Amazon cash in on cashews chef by bed and make yourself up some of
10:07these darn desserts. You can start mixing and matching. And like I said, this one freezes up
10:12and it becomes ice cream. Yes. That. So listen, y'all in closing, I just want you guys to understand
10:22that this dessert is going to make you happy. You're going to remember chef by bed because of this
10:31dessert. And do me a favor, freeze it. So you turn it into ice cream. Share it with the kids,
10:39the husband that's stubborn and don't like nothing. Make sure you share it with him. All right. So
10:45chef by bed is going to sign off today saying thank you so very much. Well, this essence wellness house
